Backyard Buddy Residential Car Lifts Increase Storage

Need extra room for another car or to store a boat or motorcycle in your garage? A Backyard Buddy residential car lift is the perfect storage solution! With enough ceiling height, it's easy to store one car over another. With accessory kits like solid inserts and drip pans, Backyard Buddy lifts can store ATV's, snowmobiles, motorcycles, boats and other seasonal vehicles while providing usable space under the elevated platform.

Our lifts are called "free standing" because they are so rigid they don't need to be bolted to the floor. With the optional casters, they are completely portable. You can roll your lift around the garage or outside on the driveway, even while supporting a car.

Proudly American Made 4 Post Car Lift Systems

BACKYARD BUDDY lifts are built in our Warren, Ohio factory by skilled, AWS certified welders. We use only American or Canadian certified structural steel. No cheap overseas steel used here! Even the hardware and power unit is American made. The best materials and design make these lifts the safest available and the best value for your dollar.

We designed and built our first BACKYARD BUDDY lift when we couldn't find a lift for our own backyard home garage and hot rod project. We’re proud of our product’s quality, engineering and safety record. We’re also proud that we don’t have to explain why sending American jobs to a plant we own in China is a good thing as some of our competitors must. We encourage you to buy American made products when you can and support our economy, not someone else’s.
